Paladin

SMALL BRAND
Control Driver
The Paladin is rated 8/5/-1/3. At speed 8 with a point of turn and a 3 fade, the numbers suggest a slower fairway flight that moves a little right before a solid left finish for a right-hand backhand. The flight figures conflict across the sources here, and the conflict is disclosed rather than resolved: Northstar's distributor listing for the neutral run prints 8/5/0/2 in its flight widget while the same page's body text gives 8/5/0/2.5, and neither matches the fields carried on this page. The listing describes a low-speed fairway driver, where TryDiscs files it as a control driver, and says it gives a bit more length than the overstable version; the page even prints the dictionary definition of a paladin, one of Charlemagne's twelve knightly champions. TryDiscs records an NS-Line run. PDGA approval came on 27 June 2022, in the brand's five-mold batch.
